The Guild DS-240 Memoir is a classic slope-shoulder dreadnought from this respected American brand. Vintage cues abound in the aesthetic of this guitar, from the classic logo on the headstock, to the Vintage Sunburst finish and simple rosette. A solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide suitably characterful tone, while the slope shoulder design gives a nice bit of extra nuance over a square-shoulder dread'.

Now available from Merchant City Music, the Guild DS-240 Memoir has a fantastic vintage vibe, but is built to the best of modern standards; true evidence that we live in a golden age of guitar-building! We treat every instrument we sell to a full workshop check-over and professional set-up, ensuring it performs perfectly out of the box. We ship fast to the UK and Europe.

Guild DS-240 Memoir Slope Shoulder Dreadnought - Vintage Sunburst Gloss

Here to help you write your own story - the Memoir DS240. This retro-looking slope shoulder dreadnought is built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides with a sleek, gloss finish. The vintage-inspired mother of pearl rosette and Guild Script Logo pay homage to the classic styling of instruments from the 1920s. The DS-240’s sound is instantly warm, clear and inviting - almost as if its tone has been perfected over years of fireside strumming and family jamming.
